Anyone care to comment on a jib boom such a Hoyt? Anyone using one?


We have one on our staysail.

It makes the staysail self tending, which is nice, but I have often been
tempted to install tracks and winches for the sheets and get rid of it.
I certainly would not add one to a jib or staysail that is already
rigged to be sailed without it.


Nice photos on the website, Dan.
